10 on 10: January

I’ve had the opportunity this year to participate in a new photo project: 10 on 10. For this project during each month we will all be taking 10 photos (at least 😉 ) on a related theme or subject and share them on the 10th of the month.

For January, I opted to focus on some images from a recent trip I took with my family to Kelowna. We stayed at a hotel for a few days and the kids, of course, were obsessed with the pool.

In hindsight for this group of images, I feel like I should have focused on a few more detail shots. As I was sorting through all the images, I thought of a few images I could have made, focusing on specific details, that may have rounded out the whole experience a bit more. Something to keep in mind for next month! 😉

Free 52: April

April was a busy hustle of work, play, a hospital visit with some stitches, then work, work, and more work. And while the month began with a myriad of tones of brown, it ended with green and even a flower here and there.
For this month, I have a hodge podge of freelensed images that I managed to sneak in here and there.
Be sure to take a look at Julie Godbolt‘s fantastic freelensed images from last month!

Free 52 2017: March

So long, March! The snow is (mostly) gone, the plants are starting to grow again, the days are getting longer and warmer, soon it will really start feeling like spring 😀 I can’t wait!
March wasn’t an overly creative month on my end. The spring cleaning bug has hit and I’ve been staying fairly preoccupied with that (and we’ve decided to give our house a mini-face-lift, which is helping keep things crazy). But here are some of my favourite freelensed images from the month.

Chelsea & Dean

I had the pleasure of being able to attend and photograph Chelsea and Dean’s wedding in July of 2014. It was a gorgeous rustic country wedding located at the Teatro’s D-Bar-E Guest Ranch in Vavenby, BC. Full of family, friends, and fun, it was a beautiful wedding at wonderful location!

Feel free to check out the D-Bar-E ranch’s Facebook page here for more information about booking with them!

2017 Free 52 – February

February is always a tough month to get through. Just another month of darkness as I’m working through the daylight hours, cold, darkness, snow, and well, darkness. For the third (sometimes fourth) month in a row. All I want is spring, and yet I know we have at least another month, sometimes two, to go even after February is done. Some days, it’s hard to feel creative when everything feels so uninspiring.

But, we made it. We’re that much closer to spring (hooray!). Here is a selection of my favourite freelensed images from February. Be sure to follow the blog circle to see some more gorgeous work by some super talented artists! You can check out April’s freelensed work at Little Trees Photography here.

Back to the Start: Free 52 – January

So, here we are, hard at it again for another year. I didn’t give up freelensing last year, but I did give up participating in the blog circles. I’ll be honest, I fell into a big funk at the end of 2016. And to be really really honest, I still feel like I’m in that slump But, I decided to slog onward and keep going with a new 365 project, and so I also opted to jump back on board with the Free 52 project.

So here we go with my favourite freelensed images from January. Please feel free to head on through the blog circle and check out the gorgeous work by April Christopher at Little Trees Photography here.

Free 52: August

August was a busy month around here and just seemed to fly by. I found I didn’t freelense as much as normal, likely because there was always something to do that I wasn’t letting myself spend time to play around while making photos.
Here are a select few images from the month that tell a bit about our time as summer has rolled to a close.
Be sure to follow the blog circle and visit Little Trees Photography. April’s work is absolutely wonderful!

Free 52: July

July is probably one of my favourite months of the year. Summer is in full swing, the kids are fresh out of school, the veggie garden is starting to produce, and camping trips to the lake are a regular occurrence. This July has been much rainier and cooler than usual however, and wasn’t providing the same ‘summer’ feel. But we still got some sun and had plenty of fun days.
Below are some of my favourite freelensed images from this month. Feel free to follow the blog circle and check out Kathy’s gorgeous work at KG Ledbetter Photography!

Free 52: June

I can hardly believe that June is already finished! This summer seems to be going by so quickly already (doesn’t it always? 😉 )
Here is another month’s worth of freelensed images for the freelensing group I’m lucky to be a part of. If you would like to see more, you can check out Jessie Arthur Photography‘s amazing work!

Free 52 : May

Due to the huge chaotic move of our retail store that began at the end of April, I had to miss blogging my freelensed images from April. But, things calmed down (sort of) and I hopped back on the freelensing wagon (sort of). So here are some of my favourite freelensed images from May 🙂
